I got stoned in VRChat for the first time, not too long after getting my first VR headset. As a furry who’s very interested in screwing with my sense of self, this was a really big deal to me in a way I can’t easily explain.

The image only contains consenting adults who look very happy to be with each other (the perspective on the muzzles could use a little work though), so no, not very problematic. It is problematic if you’re making an active effort to stop browsing porn and you still got far enough for your web browser to load that text.

sauce lot to, it fries things a french barbecue like on of on I works

We can have this talk if you ever pass Kolanaki’s comment total

It’s meant to roughly gauge how clearly you picture things in your mind’s eye by asking you which apple you see when prompted to imagine one. #5 references the lack of a mind’s eye in people with Aphantasia (coincidentally this Wikipedia article has this same chart as a header image)

A good line from a video about a cancelled game jam documentary: “Matti was hired as a Pepsi Consultant, a job title less dignified than Human Trafficker”

Waiting for Kolanaki and the rest of the furries to show up…

Years are ordinal numbers, the kind of number that tells you which place you finished in a race, and as such cannot have zeroes or negatives. You’re living in the 2,024th year since the instant that began the Common Era. “0th” and “-1st” are not valid expressions for years for the same reason that you can’t place 0th in the Olympics

Besides the immediate threat of mass rioting and an armed resistance no matter who you’re flogging, public torture as entertainment is a very, very bad precedent to set, and only serves to build up a culture of antipathy. Imagine how the wider justice system would change once that’s normalized.

Trimmed down version of my 'sona’s full name “lythlphene” which I came up with kinda randomly in a weird creative mood early in the morning, it’s intended to mean something like “earthy creature”. I decided that I shouldn’t change or tweak it afterwards since I would have just kept overthinking it and never been satisfied

Ex-conservative here, this reeks of an extremely angry person hoping to prove something about social contagion and “trans people want to bring femaleness back to 50’s stereotypes”, and minus the comedy at the end of the first paragraph this is roughly how I would have written it about 10 years ago if I’d had the guts to lie to hundreds of people. Read their post and comment history (before they delete their account) for other signs like “I experienced misogyny and it gave me awesome gender euphoria”

I’m contacting you from an alternate timeline to tell you that I’m still angry

No, and for my one-minute abridged defense:

• Gen 1-2 definitely didn’t happen and were written by two different groups with different religious views using two different creator-god names
• Noah’s Ark definitely didn’t happen, and the story repeats itself all the time because it crushes together the Yahwist’s and Elohist’s writing in a manner especially suggestive of natural human authorship
• New Testament claims that the human lineage is as young as is reported in Gen 2 (Luk 3:38) and has Jesus - presumably the same entity as God - suggest multiple times in two gospels that the great flood was a real event

That’s about enough to deconvert already, and it keeps getting worse the deeper you take things

Congratulations, you’ve invented the Martingale betting system and are well on your way to becoming an adept probability theorist

The short answer is that casinos account for this by changing the profit returns and the odds of making a profit at all so that catastrophic losses are much more likely

pros: exceedingly small chance that the one decision-maker and everyone who succeeds them are correct about everything all the time and we reach utopia

cons: likely genocide

In case you didn’t know, you can turn off promotional emails in Settings -> Dashboard -> Email Subscriptions or by adding a mail filter to push them all into an advertisement folder, and the other ads can be mitigated by hitting “don’t show this offer again” on each one

you don’t have one of those DM_ME_(thing) usernames

tbh at this point being a Linux user is a Lemmy meme

Nitpick: the proper term is “virtual desktop” or “workspace”, as “desktop environment” is already a common term for the software composing the entire user interface.

I enjoy using this feature on any operating system since it lets me quickly scan through and declutter open windows, and place categories of windows in their own workspaces. I might have only productivity windows on one, and leisure and socials on another. It’s especially effective if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for navigating inside and between workspaces. All this improves my productivity and keeps distractions away.

Every time I sneeze I redirect all the air into a cough. If I actually need my sinuses cleared (e.g., at the end of a cold germ) I just blow my nose. Am I in the minority?
